• Plympton Braces for a Hard FY28 Budget (plymptonhalifaxexpress.com) — Plympton officials are warning residents to expect a tough FY28 budget, asking every department to draft both level-service and 5–10% cut scenarios while planning a $414,000 ambulance purchase. The town is starting the year in a financial hole after using reserves, prompting talk of a possible Proposition 2½ override and renewed focus on long-term capital planning and county-level spending oversight.
